Answer:

C. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In\: \triangle ABC\\\overline{PQ} \parallel \overline {BC}.. (given) \\

Therefore, by Basic Proportionality theorem:

\frac{AP}{PB} = \frac{AQ}{QC} \\\\\therefore \frac{x}{x+7} = \frac{x-3}{x+1} \\\\ \therefore \:  \frac{x - x - 7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{x - 3 - x - 1}{x + 1}  \\ (by \: dividendo) \\  \\  \frac{ - 7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{ - 4}{x + 1}  \\  \\  \frac{7}{x + 7}  =  \frac{4}{x + 1}  \\  \\ 7x + 7 = 4x + 28 \\  \\ 7x - 4x = 28 - 7 \\  \\ 3x = 21 \\  \\ x =  \frac{21}{3}  \\  \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ x = 7}}
